Meeting of County' Committee We would call attention to the call of the Chairman for a meeting . of the Cou»- ty Committee, at 6hober's Hotel, this city, the 28th inst. Let every member be in attendance, as business of import ance is to be attended to. The I H iference Some of the Abolitionists are very much distressed because General Mc- Clellan, in his letter of acceptance, does not say a word in regard to slavery, nor so much as calling it by name; but they forget to notice and "to say that in Lin coln's letter no place was found for the magic word " Union." Which omission is most serious? Which is most signifi cant? Which shows most the lack of true patriotism? Why don't our neighbor of the Express publish the latest intelligence from Maine ? So long as the telegraph lied about the result, claiming enormous Abolition gains, it was blatant enough, /Jut now that it is ascertained by the true returns that the Democrats have gained . in almost every county, cod materially reduced the Abolition ma jority, it is dumb. How about Maine, neighbor? Have you heard the news ? If you have, why not publish it? How about the "wet blanket?" The Sixty-Days Humbug. The sixty days humbug again flourish es. For three years and six months.opr credulous people have believed that each succeeding sixty days would finish the war. The end, likelo-morrow, al though always at hand, never arrived. But now it is sure to come. There Will be no postponement on account of the weather, Lee's army, the defences Hof Washington, or any other trifling ob stacle. And what is to bring the end so speedi ly ? The capture of Atlanta. Fort Don elson, Nashville, New Orleans and Co rinth were taken, but the end did not come. Vicksburg and Port Hudson, with their garrisons, fell into our hands, but this did not bring the close of the war. And now that General Sherman and his army have quietly subsided into the fortifications of Atlanta, we do not quite perceive why Hood and his army should go and surrender to them. But the 'Weldon Railroad is in pos session of General Grant. Richmond is fed by four railroads, a river and a canal. Grant has intercepted one of its six sources of supply. It would surely be very obliging for Lee to give up un der these eircumstances, but we fear he " can't see it." He is more likely to at tempt to recover the Weldon road than abandon any of the others. The territory of the South is eon uereil.

I AM UNALTERABLY THE DEsTRECTION EITHER FIR 1.1 ANY QVA.RTER WHAT EVER. Let the people contrast these senti ments with those of Lincoln in his let ter " To 'Whom it May Concern," and the Utterances of leading Abolitionists every Where, who openly avowed their determination to resist any restoration of the Union which does not free all the negroes, and bring about negro equality. At a meeting of the Democrats and Conservatives, held at Lewistown, Mif flin county, a few days since, Abner Thomas, Es ti., who was chairman of the Republican County Committee last year, presided, and a powerful speech was made by 'olonel Wm. H. Irwin, who, for two years, has commanded the gallant 49th Pennsylvania Regiment in the Army of the Potomac. Col. Irwin has always heretofore been a bitter op= ponent of the Democratic party but he now boldly avows his belief that Mr. Lincoln and his party are not for the Union, and like tens of thousands of other ' ttllant soldiers, he is for " Little Mac" first, last, and all the finie. The work goes bravely on. The honest Con servative men of all parties are rallying to our standard, and, with a fair vote, our victory is sure, of Triumph More Changes! "Will You Yule YourselYes Bankrupt?" The Express 'has been appealing to those of the citizens of Lancaster county who have money invested. in Govern ment securities, and endeavoring to in duce them to believe that it is to their interest to vote for Lincoln, and a con tinuance of the wasteful war now going on. All the arguments which it uses are fallacious, but may have a-tendency to prejudice honest and unsophisticated men, who are accustomed to rely upon what they read in their party paper, the only paper Amy of them take. No shrewd business man anywhere could be gulled by them for a moment. The question, how to make such investments secure, is a most important one, not only to the holders dr the bonds, but to the Government itself. It would be a sad disaster if our finances should be so pros trated as to render the payment of the huge debt incurred an impossibility. That there is a possibility of such a mis fortune overtaking us no one who will look at matters With an unprejudiced mind can deny. In the judein , •lo of the best financiers of this eountry, and or the world, we are even holy ill a of extreme peril. No man who reads the able ar ticle on our outside, upon '• our debts and resources,' earl fail to be justly alarmed. 'Flint we are really seriously threatened with national bankruptcy no sensible Will look at the figures representing our ilebts, and our resources for paying t eau deny. It Avill not lake very hing, at our present rate of expenditure, to reaeli a point where payment of interest upon what we owe will be inipossible. The elec tion of Mr. Linciiln tin the platform on (Riot( he stands will render certain an indefinite prolongation of the war, on a basis whieh Hills( cause a complete exhaustion of otir en tire resources, without effecting any beneficial result. Thene is only one hope of our ever hcilig, able to weather the finaneial storm that threatens to burst upon us at no very distant day, and that is the speedy cessation of t h e War, and a return of the southern States to the Union in their normal condition under the Constitution.

AVhat the Poor Ilan k Paying If the poor man, the mechanic, the laboring man, desires to know how much he is paying to keep up this war, which the Abolitionists swear shall not end except in emancipation and negro equality, let him take his day's wages and go to the market or the store. He must pay three cents for a box of matches, fifty cents a pound for butter, thirty cents for sugar, and for meat, flour, potatoes, coal and all that he eats in the same proportion. For muslin he must pay from seventy-five cents to one dollar a yard, and for all other articles of wearing apparel in that proportion. Let him contrast what he can purchase with a day's labor now with what he could purchase with it in the good old days of Democratic rule. Then he had peace, plenty, comfort, and happiness— now he has war taxes, conscriptions, weariness, hunger, and suffering. Let him too remember distinctly, and re peatedly remind his neighbor of the fact,' that Mr. Lincoln and his corrupt and imbecile administration are respon sible for all the troubles that now beset us. .Let him vote for a change, and urge his neighbors and friends to do Amp the Soldiers Assessed. The following section from the Act passed by the Legislature to allow sol diers to vote in camp will show the man ner in which the assessing of such per sons is to be done. It is abSolutely ne cessary that every soldier offering to vote, unless he votes on age, must be able to prove in the usual manner that he has paid a State or county tax within two years, which must have been as sessed at least ten days before the elec tion. We hope the Democrats through out the county have been attending to this matter. We.have no doubt that a majority of the soldiers in the army, if they are left free to-'do so, will vote against Lincoln, and against Abolition nominees for ,Congress. Let them be assessed at once,—their tar of ten cents paid, and the receipt besent to them, together with a full supply of tickets, in time for the State election. There is but a short time in which to do much work, and every one should go at it with a will. Head the following see , lion of the law, and then go to work : Sect. 40. It shall be the duty of every as sessor, within this rommiinwealth, annual ly, to assess and return, in the manner now iiiituired by law, a county tax, of ten tistits upon each and every 1 10n- , :onunissioned of ficer and private, and the usual taxes upon every commissioned officer, known by them to be in the military service of the United States, or of this State, in the army: and when any omission shall occur, the unfitted names shall lie added, In' such asisessiirs, to the assessments and lists of ' voters, 011 the application of any citizen of the election dis trict, or precinct, wherein such a soldier might, or would, have a rit2lll to v.,te, if not in sueli .service, as aforesaid and such non commissioned officers, and privates, shall he exempt from all other personal taxes, during their iiontinuateie in such serviee; and said assessors shall, in each every ease,l .d • such assessed soldiers, or officers, without fee, or reward, therefor, give a tier tifieffie of such regular, or additional assess mem, to any eitien of the election district, or precinct, who may , at any tittle, dellltilli I the Sallie; 111111 Upon tha 1 , 2 , 5ent,,1 !her,- of, to the lily eolle , ior of said IlkirH, or the treasurer .f the Said 4,11111 . 1", it s11,1;1 lie the dilly or Slll . ll otliver if r e ed Iye sail ~,sselt tax, of, and from, :illy purloin wp•rin4 to Lay the Sallie, for the soldier, or officer, therein named, and to 011,101*Se, 111,011 chili ecrtili rate, a receipt therefor; find it shall tifsii Le the duty of saiffieollectiir, or i' ,1111 treas urer, to receive said assessed tax, t o fu ally person who Way offer to 1 , 117' the ' , atilt., for *my of said officers, hers, without a assessu Mill, Wiwi, 111.. names of such persons Shalt hate 'Well dilly enteredl 01,011 the assosS111,•111 hookS, 111- plieateS, and ,1 tlwrefor to ;Illy sll,ll person, Speeially statictg , them 11, 1110 name of the SOldier.

A GRAND POPULAR DEMONSTRATION: GREAT OUTPOURING OF TFIE PEOPLE! MANY THOUSANDS OF FREEMEN IN COUNCIL ! ! THE LARGEST PUBLIC GATHERING EVER HNOWN IN LANCASTER ! ! The Masses Enthusiastically for M'Clellan and Pendleton !!! THE DAYS OF ABOLITION 'MISRULE NUMBERED!!! The crowd in the city on Saturday was im mense, and the enthusiasm of the people un bounded. The day broke in all the cloud less glory of early autumn, the most charming period of the whole year in this latitude. Even as early as Friday after, noon there were most promising and cheer ing indications that the demonstration would be all that could be desired, and much more imposing than even the most sanguine had expected. By Friday night there were many strangers in town, some of whom came from other States, and numbers from distant regions of our own good old Com monwealth. This showed how much in earnest the American people really are; how deeply they feel the woe and misery which a single term of Abolition misrule has brought upon what was once the proud est, the freest, the most prosperous, the most happy, and the most peaceful country on earth. Having borne much, having en dured innumerable outrages, aml sub mitted to a despotism of the most comet opt ible character attempt to enthrone itself in the seat of Washington, they have resolved with the resolute will of freemen that these things shall (tease to he. They are deter mined to apply the peaceful remedy of the ballot-box, and hurl from power those whtt, having plunged the nation into a most horrid war fit': the sake of fanatical ideas, have rendered a restoration of the [nion al most impossible, after having wasted a mil lion of liyes, and expending the wool', of the nation. The people are fully resolved that the Lineffin dynasty must end.

Both of them are honorably iden tified with the Democracy of the country, and you have in their past lives, and in their whole public career, the sure pledge and guaranty that, if they shall be elected by the favor of the people and the blessing of Providence upon our cause td the high offi ces. for which they have been nominated, each of them will be found faithful to the trust committed to him—faithful to the country—C:6lllU to the Constitution—fititti ful to Democratic principles, which are cher ished by the masses of the people. The indications, everywhere, are that the nalvent ion has struck the popular heart, and has aroused it to a united and deter mined nAlon, seldom witnessed in political warfare. The masses are folly roused to the vastness of the issues which hang upon their de,ision, the peace. the prosperity, and the stopoaLT of bloodshed. which will follow victory, and the suffering and shame Of an future of fruitless war and incf'easing debt, which will assuredly follow , air defeat.
